Tim CITIZENS OF SAN FnlANCISCO
having threatened to organize a vigi
lance committee and hang Dennis
Rearney and other sand-lot orators
for thele recent Incen lary harangues,
these worthies are roosting a litle
lower. Nevertheless they have suc
ceded in paralyzing trade and run
ning capit41 off to Now York and other
cities. The Chinesp are also coming
to New York. Sant Francisco is un
dergoing a mild reign of terror. The
militia are under orders, and sevil
regiments of United States troops are
flocking thither to be ready for the
fray if Dennis Kearney becomes un
rully, which is hardly probable at those
presents.
Tur SUPRE3E CoUpT OF THE United
States, havii)g loosed the brakes,
is running full tilt over the rights of
dtates. The recent decisions about
the fourteenth amendment went pret
ty far, but Judge Bradley's opinion
just delivered on the Supervisors' law
out-herods Herod. The Supreme Court,
through Judge Bradley, decides that
the United States government has the
right to supervise all elections for
Congressien and Federal electors,
and to abridge, alter or amend all
State laws relating thereto. Judge
Field and Judge Clifford again dis
sent from the majority, and the form
er has written a very able opinion.
lie expresses surprise that his col
leagues have seen fit to go contrary to
former decisions of their body. Un
der Republican rule the States are fast,
becoing mere municipal corpora
tions without any power whatever.
Whether this state of afthirs will be
allowed to continue depends on the
result of the contest this fall. It may
be that Judge Field will be chosen as
the standard-bearer of the struggle for
constitutional libert y.
Educational Reform.
Educators are continually inventing
new methods ot' teaching, anad eacth be
lieves lie has discovered the royal road
to learning. The latest experilnent is
in Massachusetts, and we believe is
called the Quincy method. By 'It
children are instructed orally, and
text books are abolishcd. The lessons
assume the conversational form, or in
other words are simple lectures, vari
ed by questions anad answvers. Again,
instead of teaching to read in the read
lng books now in use, they have
adopted the plan of publishing such
books as Robinson Crusoe, "Puss in
Boots" and "Cinideirelia or the Class
Slipper." It is claimed that children
become much more interested ini this
sort of literature than in thme patch
work style of readers now in use. The
object of this method seems to be to
-abolish anything like machine teach
ing from thme schools. Advocates of
the plan are enthausiastie.
We have nuot given thRe sub)ject suffi
clent thought, and indeed are niot
suffle'iently acquainted wvith the de
tails, to pass any decided opinion as
to its merits. But a glance shows thiat
much can be said en both sides. With~
bright inquiring children the Quincy
p)lan would succeed admirmably. But
there are hundreds ot children who
must have knoivledge driven into
them vi et armia, whom only a thor
ough drill can infusee anly knowvledge
ito. No good teacher will confine
himself too closely to routine, and in
cidental lectures and talk on all sub
je3ts continually arise. Tihe Quincy
method is no nerv thaing. Indeed,
Northern educators, inm adopting Rob
inson Crusoe and Cinderella as text
books, are just iiow reaching a plan
long ago inm use in the South. Still
we believe carefully prepared readers
are indispensable to secure the best
- results. Fairy tales and short stories
are admirable for the nursery, but
there must be text books in schools.
Teachers should possess general
knowledge and should impart it iin
eldentally,- as before said, but there
should be0 a regular curriculum. Much
is Written about children's overtnsking
themselves, and much needless sympa
' thy is wasted. Very ibw children are
ijured by over-werk, while those
who are afflicted with too little zeal
are legion. Education neced Rot be all
bitter and nauseous, but there is such
a thing as destroying the vital princi
S Pie of the dose administered by sugar
coating it too heavily. No one system
will succeed. A good teacher must
combine all.

FzIRE IN COL.UMIA.-About twvo
o'clock oni Monday miorning, the alarm
of fiire w as sounded and a lurid glare
from the southwest lit up the city. It
was ascertained that the National IHotel,
neai' the South Carolinma depot, was on
fiire, and though the firmen prioceeded
to die spot and wvorked like heroes, it
was not p)ossible to check the flamnes1
till the building and most of its con
tents were completely destrioy. The
building was the property of Mr. Rob
ert Joyner', and was sometImes known
as Joynuer's Hotel, lie estimates his
lose at about $15,000, with an insur
anice of $6,600; of thIs, $3,000 was
with the Western Insurance Company,
represented by Mr'. W. C. Swafleldl'
and $3,600 was with the companIes 1
repriesentfed by Captain R. A. Keenian,
as follows: Continental $1,000; North I
Br'itish $1,500; Pectersbur'g $1,000.
Mr. Swafleld also had $800 on the
building ini thle rear, wvhich was saved
by the noble exei'tions of the firemen.
The origin of the fire Is unknown. No
susp)icin is expressed that It was of In
cendiar'y or'igin. It spread with great
rapidity, and It was but a very few
moments after it was first' discovereod
till the whole roof was hn flanmes.
